The Manual Data Reality

When you need to check inventory levels across your health system, where do you look? Wholesaler portals. Pharmacy automation systems. Dispensing cabinet reports. Spreadsheets. Email chains.

You know the routine: running reports from multiple systems, copying data, updating tracking tools. It eats up entire mornings. That means for six days out of seven, you don’t know what’s actually happening with your shortage items. A critical product could be running low right now, and you won’t know until next week.

The Institutional Knowledge Problem

Every hospital has some approach to managing shortages, but few have purpose-built solutions.

Maybe you’ve built spreadsheets with custom macros. Maybe you’re using basic shortage features bolted onto your pharmacy automation system or EHR. Maybe it’s SharePoint, email chains, and makeshift tracking tools.

Here’s what happens: these systems become yours. Your custom formulas. Your unique workflows. Your knowledge about which suppliers to call, which alternatives work, which protocols were approved last time.

When you’re the only one who knows how everything works, the burden never lifts.

The Time and Money Advantage

We’ve been building shortage management tools for almost a decade - longer than most people understood this needed to be a dedicated role. Our platform consistently delivers measurable time savings because we built it around actual pharmacy workflow and challenges you face every day.

Automated Data Collection

No more running reports, copying data, or updating spreadsheets manually

Daily Visibility

Shortage Digest

Customized, shareable reports with all shortage information - inventory, alternatives, supplier contacts, meeting notes - automatically updated

Archived Records

Complete shortage histories you reference when products go back on shortage instead of rebuilding approaches from scratch

Team Accessibility

Your processes live in the platform, not in one person’s head

Minimal Learning Curve

Built by pharmacists around actual pharmacy terminology and workflows

What Automated Data Collection Includes

Integration with all major wholesalers and automation vendors
Real-time inventory visibility from system-wide down to individual dispensing cabinets
Automatic runway calculations showing days of supply remaining
Smart prioritization showing what needs attention today versus what can wait
Configurable alerts and notifications based on your thresholds
Custom labels and organization by severity or clinical priority

The Operational Advantage

Instead of spending hours chasing data across fragmented systems, you focus on actual shortage management and strategic planning.

One health system cut their weekly shortage meeting from 60 minutes to 20 minutes - same decisions, better data, more time for clinical work.

Another saved 8 hours per week just by automating provider communication updates.
